A lot of tragedy involving the Chiefs in KC ...
Johnson, Hill, Arbanas, Tyrer, Delaney, Thomas, didnt another player commit suicide during Crennel's tenure ?

Linebacker Jovan Belcher. He shot his fiancee in front of his mother and infant daughter. He then drove to the KC facility and shot himself in front of Scott Pioli and Clark Hunt.Brian wolf wrote:A lot of tragedy involving the Chiefs in KC ...

On Jerome Brown, from what I heard the Eagles were not planning on retiring his number until Reggie White made an emotional speech implying they were going to. The Eagles are funny when it comes to retiring numbers. They immediately retired Donovan McNabb's number but Tommy McDonald's number was never retired even though he is in the HOF and was a key member of a championship team. Currently, they only have nine numbers retired.

I believe years ago they had already retired Al Wistert number, but they didn´t elect him to their Honor Roll until 2009.Eagles One wrote:Citizen wrote:Pat Tillman

The way Art Modell dealt with Ernie Davis was disgusting.

Though, have to pay A&M for inadvertent use of "12th man" which is why Seattle switched to calling the fans 12s. So in a way ...
Rather they replace "Fan" on the 12 banner with Adkins and Zorn (for his lone appearance wearing #12) anyway.

They really need to go back to those uniforms from 1998 and before. Don't understand what's going on in the pacific northwest with everything having to be as ugly and nonsensical as possible (oregon ducks)Reaser wrote:In the immortal words of the Seahawks '98 marketing campaign/commercials: "we're alive and kicking. what's up? are you?"ChrisBabcock wrote:The Seahawks "12th man" is most definitely not dead.Bryan wrote:Seahawks #12?

Though I do love how they built that Stadium to maximize noise. Seahawks had good crowds when the Kingdome was full too. People seem to forget
